GRPH405-Graduation Project I (GRPH405/GRPH405n)

GRPH405 unit–along with GRPH406- comprise the final Graduation Project in one of the four major fields of the Graphics & Media Arts Department in response to a self-initiated design agenda/brief. Students will finally exploit all their expertise and previous experiences acquired throughout their unit of study to accomplish their final Graphics and Media Arts project.

In this unit students will execute one final research project representing their knowledge, skills and cultural awareness gained in the previous years of study that is closely related to the SDGs. The student will choose one of the four major fields in the Graphic and Media Art department and will focus all his/her tools to accomplish the desired outcome. Students are expected to hand in a final dissertation reflecting the entire process they went through, the background, the context, the literature review and analysis/ critique.

GRPH405 unit will focus on collecting information, literature, analysis in the form of researches, reports, presentations, peer to peer assessment, critiques, and one on one tutorial as well as laying the solid base for the practical visual outcome throughout sketches and technical experimentation. A final dissertation is presented by the end of this unit.
